About me

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), in Southern California. I have 7 years experience in working with adults and families. My therapeutic style includes an unwavering commitment to working together in pursuit of your mental well-being. My communication style is personable, relaxed and encouraging. My goal is to create a safe space to process your thoughts without judgement.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, I want to start getting to know you! In an effort to do so we will be going through a questionnaire on our first session, which involves me asking you questions about yourself both from the past and present. I'd also like to know what specific challenges you are facing or any other topics you'd wish to discuss in our session. From these conversations I help to create a plan to help manage your concerns. Additionally, there will be time in our first session for you to ask me questions. If you are feeling comfortable with our conversation at this point we set an appointment to continue sessions to work on your identified concerns.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am on your side to face and help manage the stressor you are experiencing. I am here to assist you in recognizing your power to transform your life into what you want it to be.

My treatment methods

Attachment-based

In my experiences with using attachment based treatment I've watched how its helped clients explore attachment figures in childhood and how those past relationships inform current relationship dynamics. I've seen how this recognition of past attachment figures has helped clients not only resolve traumas of the past but also apply to present relationships. Making for more fulfilling relationships with self and others.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive behavior therapy helps in making the connection between how our thoughts create our feelings and then dictate our behaviors. This type of therapy practice is especially helpful when you find yourself in an unhelpful thought pattern that is causing distress. Through practice, CBT teaches how to change these thoughts, which changes the feelings and behaviors connected to them.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

We are all different and I truly respect and admire these differences. I am naturally curious of the different thoughts and perspectives of my clients. I've found that my curiosity of differences has been affirming for my clients from all different walks of life. Furthermore, I have come to highly regard cultural sensitivity therapy through my own personal cultural experiences.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness therapy involves learning how to recognize our thoughts without forming opinions or judgement. Just because we have the thought, does not make it true. Through practice, this is a tool that is helpful to manage complex or critical and intrusive thoughts.

I love Shannea , I don't know what I would do without her , she has put so many things into prospective for me. She is so empowering, and motivating, She listens, she's direct, and she holds me accountable. Shannae has happened me so much in just a short amount of time, she has taught me so much about myself so far. I hope to continue to work with her and grow through my lessons with her, she's so sweet, understanding and gentle with me.
